Ingredients
Scale
For the Base:
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons high-quality honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
For Assembly:
- 24 small crackers or crostini
- Extra chopped pistachios for garnish
- Additional honey for drizzling
- Edible flowers (optional, but so pretty!)
Instructions
- Prep Ricotta: Let the ricotta come to room temperature to make mixing easier and yield a smooth, light texture. Meanwhile, roughly chop the pistachios to a size that provides crunch but won’t easily fall off the crackers.
- Mix Ricotta Filling: In a medium bowl, gently fold together the ricotta, finely chopped pistachios, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix carefully to maintain fluffiness. Taste and adjust honey level if a sweeter bite is desired.
- Assemble Bites: Arrange crackers or crostini on a serving platter. Using a small spoon or piping bag, dollop the ricotta mixture onto each cracker evenly. Garnish each bite with extra chopped pistachios and a small drizzle of honey. Optionally, decorate with edible flowers for an attractive finish.
Notes
- Allowing the ricotta to reach room temperature is key for smooth, easy mixing.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste for desired sweetness.
- Use crunchy crackers or toasted crostini for best textural contrast.
- These bites can be prepared shortly before serving to maintain freshness.
- Edible flowers enhance visual appeal but are optional.
